CHICAGO, Oct. 28.-To the forty mon
and a dozen women who attended tho
meeting Of the '"'Amnesty Association
tonight, President l. s. Oliver made
a remarkable statement. He aald that
he had been greatly disappointed
at not receiving more petitions with sip.
natures from States outside Of Illinois,
aeking for the commutation OF sentence for
the condemned An1chists. He believed
the only way to account for not recelv.
Ing them was that they had been tam.
pered with in the United States
mails. In many cases, In answer to re.
quests, he had sent rolls Of blank petl.
tons to parties in Wisconsin, Psnnsylya.
mia and New York two or three times
over, and ttill they would write that the
matter had never been received. M .'95S
Mrs. Holmes jumped up and said she
had been threatened with arrest by The
authorities IN the poatoffice for mailing
amnesty petitions. sf, ,ll35'.5g' NV =
!, Another remarkable statement made by
Mr.. Oliver was thst over $50 invitations
had been sent to as many different minis.
ters Of the gospel asking them to attend
the amnesty meetings and express
their opinion, but none had come and
very few had responded even by lotter.
